· Printer suddenly turned off and not turning on
I had this problem tonight. Not sure if your cause is the same, but for me, when I was re-assembling the heater block, the amount of force I put on the heater/thermocouple set screw was crushing the wires of the cartridge heater and causing an internal short. The breaker in the power supply would trigger every time I turned on the machine.
I was able to remove the heater, manually separate the wires at the 90degree bend, and delicately reinstall the heater, solving the problem.
Try removing your heater cartridge wires from the main board and turning on the machine - see if that's the problem. Remember to unplug your power supply first to reset the breaker.

Nick Foley, thank you so much! You are a lifesaver!
I played with the heater wires at the nozzle end, and now everything works! (actually not sure what I did, but I guess wires were creating a short because they touched each other or something)
